ED 114 and Budget Narrative

Each district must complete the ED 114 utilizing the 2017-18 Perkins grant allocation, which will serve as the

preliminary grant allocation until the 2018-19 allocations become final The state will make adjustments to the 2018-19 budgets to reflect the final allocations

Local plans will be evaluated based upon core indicator performance levels Plans must target funds to:

 address specific strategies for improvement based on the overall, systemic goals for improvement and growth

of the CTE Program; and

 assure that the program is such size, scope and quality to improve the quality of career and technical

education

If the local recipient fails to meet at least 90 percent of an agreed upon performance level for any of the indicators of performance, it will have to develop and implement a specific improvement plan for each area which indicates steps to be taken

The State may, after an opportunity for a hearing, withhold all or part of a local recipient’s funding if the local meets any one of the three criteria below:

 fails to implement the required improvement plan;

 makes no improvement within one year of implementing the improvement plan; or

 fails to meet at least 90 percent of a performance for the same performance indicator three years in a row The ED 114 should be entered and certified on the Connecticut State Department of Education (CSDE) Prepayment Grant System

Each district, including each member of a consortium must submit the Continuous Improvement Plan (CIP), ED 114

and budget narrative, irrespective of means of transmittal or postmark date, by Friday, June 29, 2018

Proposals submitted become the property of the CSDE and a part of the public domain One original with original

signatures, and one copy of all sections of the grant including the ED 114 and budget narrative, must be mailed to Suzanne Alicea at the address below

 Each line item in the budget narrative must give a detailed description of the item(s) that will be purchased, including quantity and unit cost The personnel costs should be shown by the number of positions, time involved and hourly rate

 Only institutions that have submitted indirect cost proposals for 2017-18 may apply for indirect costs

 Compute all expenditures to the nearest dollar by line item Do not include cents

KEY CHANGES TO THE CARL D PERKINS GRANT APPLICATION FOR 2018-19

As defined by the Carl D Perkins Act, funds must be expended only for career and technical education programs, services and activities All aspects of use of Perkins funds must be supported by data and the district/college must have the capacity to measure improvement resulting from the use of Perkins funds For the 2017-18 Perkins Grant, the CSDE is requiring the following:

 A portion of Perkins funds must be used to improve performance levels in any core indicator area that a CTE program has failed to meet minimum levels for the prior academic year For example, if the district has low performance in technical skill attainment in marketing education programs, they must use the funds to improve marketing education and funds could be allocated to align the marketing curriculum to the 2015 CTE

Performance Standards and Competencies;

 Secondary schools with College Career Pathways (CCP) programs must allocate a minimum of 5% to carry

out the CCP Program, preferably towards professional development for high school faculty with the affiliated

community college faculty;

 Programs must have a CTE two-course sequence, with the exception of a course that leads to a certification,

in order to fund any expenditures in a career cluster, pathway or program area Academic courses do not count as part of the two-course sequence Single course “programs” cannot receive funding, with exception noted above However, expenses for developing the second course may be funded for curriculum

development and faculty collaboration over the course of 2018-19 but cannot include funding equipment, supplies or other related expenditures The second course must be in place for students in the 2019-20 school year;

 CTE Advisory Boards must be active, meet at least twice a year and include business and industry partners Evidence of advisory board activity should be provided in the 2018-19 Continuous Improvement Plan(CIP) [i.e., list of members, meeting agendas, actions taken on meetings, committee involvement in program

improvements and funding];

 Priority should be given to programs that lead to an industry-recognized credential, certificate or associate degree for high-skill, high-need, high-wage careers; and

 Stand-alone expenditures unrelated to the CIP and measurable improvement will not be funded
